HER SIDE OF IT.
Mrs. Campbell and her mother, Mrs.
John Kussler, who arrived on the = p. IN.
train, were both seen. They both posi-
lively deny the statement of Campbell. As
to the alleged carriage ride and debauch,
Mrs. Kussler says her daughter is as pure
woman as ever lived, and that Campbell
has treated her in the most brutal manner
imaginable. and made life a burden TO
her.
Mrs. Campbell says that his treatment
was such that she coald no longer stand it,
and that two weeks ago she packed her
trunk and went to her home in Kansas
CITY, and wrote him that she would never
live with him again. When Campbell
came to Kansas City to get her TO return
here, he induced her to take walk with
him, and then forced her to accompany him
hither without giving her an opportunity
to get her trunk or necessary clothing since
the arrival here. She claims that she
wished to return to her home in Kansas
City, and upon threatening to pawn her
wedding ring TO get fund. to do so, he
pulled out his revolver and tried to kill
her.
Mrs. Kussler maintains that Campbell
has repeatedly beaten his wife, and that the
family has tried to keep the matter from
the public, but now it wall have to 90 be-
fore the public. Mrs Kussler further says
that Campbell has almost wrecked their
entire family in an effort to keep hidden
the many mean things he had done
Campbell ran away with and married his
present wife when she was only ID years OF
age, and the reason he involved Mrs Hig-
bee in the road house episode is on &C
count of the opposition she has always ex-
| pressed to Campbell in the treatment OF his
wife.
The foregoing is the statement of Mrs
Campbell and her mother, and, like the
statement of MIR. Campbell, is given with
out comment.
